HiRes Decals - Anyone?

Post by Tormentor667 »

Has anyone already made some HiRes Decals for GZDoom or ZDoom? And if yes, how? Or actually... can someone share that?

Loads of hi-res blood decals are available in certain WADs. Zero Tolerance has some higher-quality blood decals. But I would like to know if any even higher-quality blood decals are available. :3:

Doom 3 is loaded with perfect hi-res blood/burn decals, just open up the base files using pk4scape and have a rummage

With Nash's help, I already ported some of the Doom 3 blood decals to ZDoom: http://files.filefront.com/D3+blood+dec ... einfo.html.

Works best as decoration. Doesn't work too well when it replaces the actual blood decals, in-game.

It's pretty easy to make custom high res decals... just download several of the free blood spray Photoshop brushes... a simple Google search would return tons of results. Mix and match your various brushes to create unique splats... using this method, I managed to create about 20 new blood splats for nashgore 3.0 in about 40 minutes work from scratch.

If you're the more artsy type, you can also buy some black ink (or red ink, but I prefer black since it's easy to recolour) and a paint brush... drip and splat the ink on a huge piece of paper (be sure not to do this indoors, you might mess up the room), photograph the result and import them as your custom blood splat decals.

I will remember this. I've done decals for other games, but doing some for zdoom is tempting.
